Kate Upton has found herself a player - a baseball player, that is!
 
The 20-year-old supermodel is dating Detroit Tigers pitcher Jason Verlander, 29. Well, so says one of his family members according to a report!
 
"I heard he has been on dates with a Sports Illustrated girl," Justin's grandfather, Richard Verlander Sr., says. "I saw a photo -- she's beautiful."
 
"They make a good-looking pair because he's a good looking man too," Richard adds.
 
This comes after the duo were reportedly spotted getting cozy in Detroit over the summer. Kate was also seen in Justin's suite at a Tigers home game in July.
 
But the blond beauty has never been one to talk about her relationships. In February, she was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and when asked about New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who was rumored to be her boyfriend at the time, all she would confirm is that she met him and "he's cute."
 
Not only has Justin been lucky in love, but he's also had some luck on the field. Last night, he took his team to the second round of MLB playoffs after pitching a shutout against the Oakland Athletics.
 
With Kate on his arm and a potential trip to the World Series, we'd say he's certainly having a winning season!
